Shopify integration
Last updated
Coming soon. Approve the Mentionwell app (content scopes only), pick a blog, and every article publishes with featured image, tags, excerpt and SEO title/description — rendered by your storefront's existing blog template.
How it works
- Click “Publish to Shopify” on Mentionwell’s Connect page and enter your store address.
- Approve the app in your Shopify Admin (read_content + write_content only).
- Pick the blog (most stores have “News”). Send a test post if you like — it arrives hidden.
- Publish. Articles go live on the chosen blog; edits update the same article, unpublishing hides it, deleting removes it.
What gets written into Shopify
- Title, handle (slug), HTML body, excerpt.
- Featured image (Shopify copies it onto its CDN; alt text included).
- Tags + blog assignment + author name.
- SEO title + meta description (the storefront’s search-engine listing fields).
The Shopify + AEO playbook
For most DTC brands, AI-engine answers now influence ~15% of pre-purchase queries — and growing. Mentionwell shows you exactly which buyer prompts ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are answering with competitor citations, then ships the long-form content that intercepts those answers. The article links into your product catalog; the storefront does the rest.
Questions
Is Shopify publishing available now?
Not yet. One-click Shopify publishing is built and coming soon. Until then, reach Shopify through the signed publish webhook or the Reader API.
Does Mentionwell push to product pages?
No, only to Shopify’s blog. Product pages stay under your control. We write supporting AEO content (buying guides, comparison posts, FAQ explainers) that links into your product catalog.
What access does the app need?
Only the read_content and write_content scopes (blogs and articles). No theme code, no checkout access, no customer data.
Can I run multiple stores?
Yes. Each Shopify store is a separate Mentionwell site. Workspaces give you one dashboard across all of them.
What about Shopify Markets / multi-language?
Article translations are on the roadmap. Today, run a separate Mentionwell site per market.
How does AEO affect e-commerce specifically?
AI answer engines drive a large and growing share of pre-purchase research. Buyers ask ChatGPT “what’s the best running shoe for flat feet” — being the cited brand inside that answer is the new top-of-funnel. Mentionwell measures that and writes the articles that close the gap.
